Curiosity Didn't Kill the Fox, But It Definitely Did Something [Aiko/Ceal] [PRIVATE]

Aiko did a... Hell of a lot of contemplation. This little fox girl was lying on a rock, in the middle of the night, eyes having turned yellow to be able to observe things in the dark. They lied on a rather peculiar object, a ticket that she had pulled from her pocket. She didn't know where it had come from, she had just given herself a pat down when she thought she lost one of her small sculptures, just to pull out the ticket.

She had been staring at the ticket in contemplation since. There were directions on it, and a name... Ceal. Ceal was the girl who had a rather.. Strange interaction with her mother just earlier. Aiko honestly wasn't sure if she should do anything with it, her body showing obvious signs of nervousness. She did want to take her... But she wanted to take care of her! From how things sounded, Ceal just wanted to keep her safe and happy... But Mika was doing that too! Then again... She did leave her in the forest...

No! Mika cares! Mika really does care! She was just trying her best! Aiko accounted for how... Scared Mika felt. No, not scared.. It was something else, something worse... She could tell Mika was suffering from her emotions... She wanted to help Mika oh so much... Even if she never showed it, Aiko felt so much ache for her. She tried so hard to stay happy to keep her in higher spirits... But it never seemed to be enough.

At times, Aiko felt like a burden on Mika... She loved her so much. Seeing her so worried and sad and worn down all the time broke her little heart. She felt intense guilt... Was she the one who did this to her? Was Mika happier without her? Aiko wore a frown on her face this night.

She wasn't sure what the ticket was for, but she settled on sating her curiosity. She followed the directions, opening her mouth and dragging a finger on one of her incisors, causing her to whimper in pain. She then slowly traced her bloodied finger on the place she was told to trace, forming a pentagram. She sat silently, before she suddenly felt a rush.

Light suddenly exploded her sight, a brief bit of overload occurring, until everything settled. She was lying on her back on a rather comfortable surface... Being very warm. Her eyes didnt have long to take in the surroundings before she did a gentle "huh?", panic enveloping her being. Where.. Where was she?

"...Hello?" She called out in the dark room, her chest being labored with heavy breaths as she tried to process the change of scenery.
